In Mexico City, the Cuauhtémoc borough removed around 500 meters of unused cabling from the Colonia Obrera neighborhood.
Alcaldesa Alessandra Rojo de la Vega ordered the work as part of a larger effort to organize public space and increase safety for residents. Crews from the General Directorate of Urban Services completed the removal on streets including Fernando de Alva Ixtlilxóchitl, Montiel, and Lorenzo Bouturini. This cable removal adds to previous work by the Cuauhtémoc borough.
Since 2025, workers have removed more than 3,600 meters of abandoned cables throughout the borough. The borough government intends to continue these maintenance efforts to improve street conditions and reclaim public spaces for pedestrians.
